(WXYZ) — Legendary pitcher Justin Verlander will take the mound at Comerica Park one more time this month during a weekend that will celebrate his legendary career.
The team announced Tuesday that Verlander will be the starter for Saturday afternoon's game.
Verlander reportedly threw a mound session last Saturday where his fastballs topped out at 93 mph. He started the game on March 30 but went on the IL after for left hip inflammation. He was set to return to the team in June but has been dealing with a left hamstring strain.
Detroit will be holding a two-day celebration for Verlander's career on Sept. 25-26.
"Tigers fans have been there for the unforgettable moments, the dominant performances and the incredible career of Justin Verlander. Now join us alongside his family, friends and teammates as we celebrate his legacy on and off the field," the Tigers said in an email to fans.
